Ryn Weaver
Born: Aryn Wuthrich
Originates From: California
Currently Resides In: New York & Los Angeles
Signed To: Benny Blanco's label, Friends Keep Secrets
How She Got Her Start: By chance, and the only time I will give credit to Tinder for rightly getting together two people, she and a friend were sifting through the faces of countless "potentials" when Ryn suddenly stopped on one profile. It was Benny Blanco (famed music producer with hits like Iggy Izalea's "Black Widow" and Ed Sheerans "Don't") whom she had first met a couple years back at a party in New York. They messaged him and it just so happened that he was having a birthday party the next night and invited them both. It was there that fate set in motion a friendship of misfits - Benny Blanco, Passion Pit's Michael Angelakos, Charlie XCX, and DJ/producer Cashmere Cat. Enter the beginning of Weaver's career as a singer/song writer and her first single and overnight hit, "OctaHate."
Ryn's original plans for her career were not that of a life of music but acting. She had moved to New York originally to instill culture in to her life or as she so bluntly stated in a recent interview with Billboard.com --"to publicly transport myself and go to theatre and meet a lot of people and just be mind-fucked."
Thankfully life, fate, destiny, serendipity, kismet, whatever you wish to call it, stepped in and just last August she released her first EP "Promises" and it definitely doesn't disappoint. Just as "OctaHate" grabs you from the beginning with her electric yet dizzying voice, "Promises" pulls you in with its raw emotion and almost whimsical, dream like melodies and just the perfect amount of synthesized beats. It's not often a star is born over night and a natural born star at that. Ryn Weaver is a rare talent that shouldn't be missed. Believe me, once you have your first listen, it's love at first...hearing? Dive in, get sucked in, and get ready to add her to your favorite artists to watch.
Things You Need & Want To Know
Killer Achievement: Her single, "OctaHate" debuted on SOUNDCLOUD June 24, 2014 and by the end of the day had racked up 30,000 plays. To top it off she hit over 1 million by the end of week two.
Artists who've inspired her: Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Fiona Apple, David Bowie, and Led Zeppelin.
